Medication adherence in Jordanian patients with multimorbidity: a cross-sectional mixed-methods study in outpatient clinics.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Multimorbidity, the coexistence of two or more chronic conditions, is increasingly prevalent in Jordan, a middle-income country with a growing non-communicable disease (NCD) burden and limited data on medication adherence. This study examined adherence prevalence, predictors, and barriers among Jordanians with multimorbidity to inform interventions supporting Sustainable Development Goal 3. Methods: A cross-sectional, mixed-methods study was conducted from April to December 2024 in two tertiary Hospitals' outpatient clinics in Amman. Adults (≥18 years) with ≥2 chronic conditions requiring ongoing medication ( Results: Of 420 invited participants, 405 completed the survey (response rate: 96.4%). High adherence (GMAS ≥27) was observed in 54.3% of participants. Factors positively associated with medication adherence included older age, higher income, fewer medications, higher health literacy, and social support, while cost, polypharmacy, forgetfulness, rural residence, and low perceived medication necessity were key barriers. Six qualitative themes were identified: economic strain, access gaps, cultural beliefs, religious coping, caregiving burden, and symptom management issues. Conclusion: This first study of medication adherence in Jordanian multimorbidity highlights actionable barriers and facilitators, offering a scalable model for resource-limited settings. Subsidies, mobile pharmacies, and culturally tailored strategies could substantially reduce the non-adherence rates, advancing NCD control regionally and globally.
